The aim of this repository is:

• to release datasets on fees paid for Open Access journal articles by German Universities under an Open Database License
• to share a copy of Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) journal master list (downloaded January 2014)
• to demonstrate how reporting on fee-based Open Access publishing can be made more transparent and reproducible across institutions.

So far, the following German universities have agreed to share information on paid author processing charges (APC):

• Bayreuth University
• Bielefeld University
• Clausthal University of Technology
• Hamburg University of Technology
• Heidelberg University
• Leibniz Universität Hannover
• Leipzig University
• Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
• Free University of Berlin
• KIT Karlsruhe
• Technische Universität Chemnitz
• University of Bamberg
• University of Duisburg-Essen
• University of Göttingen
• University of Konstanz
• University of Regensburg

Dataset on funds that are supported by research societies under its Open-Access Publishing Programme.

Participating Research Organizations:

• Max Planck Digital Library

The data content covers APCs as paid for by our central budget for the Max Planck Society. APCs funded locally by Max Planck Institutes are not part of this data set. The Max Planck Society has a limited input tax reduction. The refund of input VAT for APC is 20%.

• Forschungszentrum Jülich
• Library Wissenschaftspark Albert Einstein
• INM - Leibniz Institute for New Materials
• [Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC)](https://www.mdc-berlin.de/1161876/de/about_the_mdc/structure/administr ation/library)

Information on both open access journal articles and open access publication of articles in toll-access journals ("hybrid") are provided.

In total, 3 668 382€ for 2 977 articles were paid by the participating unviversities. Average fee is 1 232.2€ and the median 1 196€.

At the moment, the dataset releases information on 2 964 articles in open access journals which charge publication fees. Total expenditure amounts to 3 644 089€. Average fee is 1 229.4€ and the median 1 193€.

In many toll-access journals some of the articles are open access after a fee has been paid. This model is often called "hybrid open access". The dataset covers 13 hybrid open access articles. Total expenditure amounts to 24 293€. Average fee is 1 868.7€ and the median 1 785€.

The following institutions have contributed its expenditures for hybrid open access.

External sources were used to compile the dataset. This allows for disambiguated information on publishers and journals in order to make cost data comparable. Shared identifiers for publications (e.g. PMID) are provided as well.

In collaboration with the DINI working group Electronic Publishing, a wiki page(in German) explains all the steps required. Meeting and telephone conferences are documented as well:

• Virtual Meeting 19 August
• Virtual Meeting 11 + 12 February 2015

This project follows Wellcome Trust example to share data on paid APCs. It recognises efforts from JISC and the ESAC initative to standardise APC reporting.

For data enrichment, sample visualisations and explorations we build on the work of rOpenSci and LibreCat/Catmandu.
